Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary memory loss condition. A case report highlights sexual intercourse as a potential trigger, emphasizing the importance of a detailed patient history to identify inciting events.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Transient global amnesia (TGA) is characterized by sudden, temporary memory deficits.
  • Various factors can precipitate TGA episodes.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old woman experienced TGA following sexual intercourse.
  • The amnesic episode lasted for 14 hours.

Findings:

  • Neurological examination and neuroimaging (MRI brain, MR angiogram, venogram) were unremarkable.
  • No underlying pathology was identified despite the TGA event.

Implications:

  • Sexual activity can be an identified inciting factor for TGA.
  • Thorough patient history is crucial for diagnosing TGA and identifying triggers.
